The base of this cocktail is pretty simple with apple cider and pumpkin. I love the flavors of this fall drink. Simple enough to make without any fancy tricks.

What’s awesome about this cocktail is that it can also be made non alcoholic. Just remove the horchata from the recipe and make as a nice refresher style drink.

Apple cider, fresh honey crisp apples, and pumpkin puree make up the base of this cocktail drink. With a touch of cinnamon and some cinnamon sticks for garnish I promise this cocktail will wow! Great for parties and gatherings as well.

Why Horchata
Horchata is a light alcohol so it compliments the cinnamon and apple flavors in this cloudy pumpkin patch cocktail. While you could use a rum or vodka I find those both over bearing. Caruva horchata cream liqueur gives a cinnamon raisin cake finish.

I think that cake finish compliments the honey crisp apples perfectly. I have been asked if another apple can be used. Yes, it definitely can but honey crisp apples are just perfect for this seasonal cocktail.
